So I figure it's about time for another blog update, I've been getting a lot done recently. First thing to note is...the background image!!! Yaahh, now his page isn't so boring!! Sorry that it's so blue, but I actually liked the image I had before and just wanted to add some personal touches. I kept the original image (blurry, blue light beam things) as the background but laid pictures of various artists on top. I had the option of keeping the original image colors but I kind of liked going with the blueish theme and modified them that way, especially since I'd already changed my links to shades of blue to match the previous background. Also I didn't want the background to be too overwhelming and distracting, and I think having the colors toned to match the site's layout colors (black, blue, white, gray, and a touch of red) help it blend in much better.
Originally I also wanted to add an image where the blog title is (I'd have to make it myself our course), but I figured I should do the background first. So as it turned out, I can't really put an image in the title now because it would block the background...(didn't think about that happening...whoops). It would have been perfectly fine if you could just add a shadow to the title...but noooo, Blogger can't do that. So I just went with adding a halfway-transparent black rectangle so that the title would have a dark area behind it, but the background image could still be seen. (Yes, I know there are many ways around this. I thought about it, and decided not to deal with it.)
As of this post, I now have 60 lyrics added to the site...yaaaaaayy!!! I've been working pretty hard on this site, trying to add a few songs a week while also continuing to update everything.
In other news, the My Collection page is almost done. Just need to add the rest of my Chinese discography. The page didn't come out quite as I wanted, but I had to make due with what I had. Hopefully it isn't too difficult to navigate. If can ever find all of the CD booklet scans I have in my computer, I've probably be adding those to the page in a similar way too.
One last thing...I'm still considering changing my blog's title. I just went with the current because it was easy to think of. I'm actually pretty indecisive about choosing names, so if anyone has any suggestions, please share!
That'll be all for now, catch you all later!!
